Win or Fail? 6th Gen Camaro Based On 2nd Gen Styling

With the confirmation of the 2014 C7 Corvette, the development of the new Alpha platform in the Cadillac ATS, and the news of a forthcoming Gen V Chevy small block, it’s no wonder that enthusiasts are already starting to speculate about what the 6th Gen Camaro might be like.

In this thread on CamaroZ28.com we find an intriguing take on a possible 6th Gen Camaro. The very talented Brazilian graphic designer, Du Oliveira followed the logic that if the 5th Gen was heavily inspired by the 1st Gen Camaros, then maybe its successor should be based on the 2nd Gen’s body style. His design takes cues from the early 70’s Camaros, especially the front end and the roof line, and blends them with the fenders and doors of the current Camaro model. As you’ll notice, Oliveira even kept the 5th Gen’s wheels for his 6th Gen rendering.

Undoubtedly, some folks will love this idea and others will hate it. Does it take the retro design trend too far? Does Oliveira not take it far enough for your tastes? Regardless of what the 6th gen might end up looking like, I’m sure most of you will agree with us that as long as it loses a bit of weight and still comes packing rowdy V8 power, then the looks will just be icing on the cake.
